At the Canadian Potato Museum in O'Leary, Prince Edward Island, there's a fantastic exhibit of spuds that have succumbed to various pests and pathogens. At right, for example, is a depiction of blackleg, a type of bacterial infection. #potatoes #pei #farming #gardening #tuber #museum #agriculture #PrinceEdwardIsland
cryptocurrency is obviously bullshit, but, fortunately, the real working cryptographers seem to be basically completely disjoint from financial scam libertarians
Been seeing more and more uncritical mentions of the 988 mental health hotline lately. If you’re going to promote this, you ought to also include the risks, which are that they collaborate with police: by their own admission about 2% of calls end up with the counselor calling 911 on the person seeking help.
If you are going to reach out to 988, and you don’t want violent fucks with guns potentially showing up at your door, make sure you:
—Do not under any circumstances volunteer your location (988 claims to not use geolocation capability like 911 does)
—never admit to being at an imminent risk of harm to yourself or others, or in immediately unsafe surroundings. Remember that the counselor may have a lower threshold for defining this than you do!

Latest update on the DDOS attack from @brewsterkahle (Oct 11 @ 10:22am PT):
"The data is safe.
Services are offline as we examine and strengthen them. Sorry, but needed. @internetarchive staff is working hard.
Estimated Timeline: days, not weeks.
Thank you for the offers of pizza (we are set)."
So we're homeless now, the apartment reeks of mold and it's completely unlivable. Almost everything is gone. We're only a few hundred away from being able to get a rental and leave to family out of state who can help house and support us till we get set up. Plz boost

⚡️PSA: Please do not call tricking out your Linux machine’s interface “ricing” that term is really racist
I like to call it “glamming” the machine instead. Then my computer can be ✨fabulous✨

#yesbot #nobot #noarchive I'm in my 20s, as a Computer Science researcher (Not in "AI" 🙄).

Programmer and IT girl. Pseudo-vegan for the environment (-avocados +oysters). Very uncomfortable with astrology. Please don't call me "dude", "bro", "man", etc. Radical egalitarian anarchist, hierarchies and hate are incompatible with a free and equal life . For real though, I'm not gonna tell you to vote or post about political spectacle that is outside our control and in-actionable. Aiming to have a similar amount of internal contradictions as my environment like Ashby's Law of Requisite variety. I am probably stoned on some variety and dosage of cannabinoids if I am awake if you hate stoners just dni. I am also a trans woman so I *checks notes* meme about femininity and feminization sometimes. After dark account at: @thufieplus but read my bio there before sending a follow request even if we are already mutuals here. Oh and just to be clear because I think I see other white people on here trying to fake not being white under a bunch of other text, I'm just a disoriented white girl trying her best.
